14th of 19 finds tonight with BenH57, BeauBackus, and MShock. This was definitely our most fun find of the night! Not only did the coords take us to a hilarious location, but we had an interesting moment after finding the cache. We parked illegally near GZ and then walked to find the cache. After we found the cache and BenH57 retrieved a geocoin, we noticed that Parking Enforcement was about to give us a ticket.  BeauBackus ran back to the car to try to plead his case. We all firmly believe that you tell the absolute truth to real law enforcement, but you have to stretch it a bit with rent-a-cops. Since this was the real deal, BeauBackus told him we were geocachers. Next thing we know, the ticket book is tossed in the patrol car, and out comes a GPSr! Good fortune was upon us, as this kind gentleman was also a geocacher! Originally from Oregon, lawman2 told us about how he got into geocaching, how he'd never go caching in uniform, what kind of finds and geocoins he'd seen, etc. We had a great time exchanging stories, and we hope he comes back to find this cache when he's off the clock! Thanks for a fun adventure - great to meet you, lawman2!
